332-8903: Triple Grouser Track Shoe

Description: Track shoes provide flotation and traction for the machine and protection for the link assembly. Attributes: Extreme service track shoes should be used wherever the moderate service track shoe bends or breaks, or where links outlast track shoes. Extreme service track shoes are both stronger to resist bending and breaking and have more allowable wear material than the moderate service track shoe. Extreme service track shoes are rolled from tough alloy steel. Triple grouser track shoes have less penetration and traction than single grouser shoes, but better turning ability. Triple grouser shoes are standard on track-type loaders and excavators because less turning resistance and greater maneuverability are needed. Clipped track shoes have the grouser corners cut off to reduce turning resistance and bending force without loss of flotation and with little loss of overall wear life.
